This Zhuan (Seal) script couplet by Liu Xiangping from Jiangsu, China, expresses an elegant sentiment about friendship and poetry. The words compare sincere friendship to gold and lyrical resonance to jade — highlighting both emotional value and artistic refinement.
Liu’s seal script combines a strong grasp of classical form with subtle contemporary fluidity. The brushwork maintains architectural stability while breathing with rhythmic vitality. The result is a pair of characters that feel weighty, intentional, and poetic.

Its poetic resonance clearer than jade."
